The Doomed City by Boris Strugatsky, Arkady Strugatsky

4.0

A unique and fascinating exploration of society and personal responsibility told through the eyes of cold war Russia that is still surprisingly relevant. Rich characters who manage to mostly transcend their stereotypical origins take part in an experiment that challenges their ideals. The only downsides are a depressing lack of developed/independent female characters and an unfulfilling non-ending that leaves more questions than it answers.
